Guide Review - Complete Book of Colleges

Complete Book of Colleges is definitely the largest undergraduate guide published by The Princeton Review, and possibly, the largest undergraduate guide in creation.

The 2008 edition weighs in at over 5 pounds and is over 1,500 pages long. The sheer mass of the book is amazing, and so is the content. Featuring profiles of all of the 4-year colleges and universities in the U.S., Complete Book of Colleges is the only college guide prospective undergraduate students will need in their search for the perfect school.

Highlights of the book include a short introduction to college admissions, a section on online degree programs, a college search tool called the Mini Counselor-O-Matic, and of course, the school profiles, which include stats on academics, students, facilities, tuition, financial aid, and much more.

If you are only going to buy one college guide, consider picking up a copy of Complete Book of Colleges. You'll find everything you need and then some.
